Olivier Renard has a lot to do for his first transfer window at Neerpede. He is leading the negotiations for the Anderlecht transfer window, but also for the RSCA Futures.
At the start of the transfer window, Anderlecht is targeting young international talents. The Mauves will welcome. The 18-year-old Malian midfielder Ibrahim Kanaté, from Jean-Marc Guillou’s training center, will cost the people of Brussels around 1.8 million euros.
With probably also the arrival of Enzo Sternal (17 years old), Anderlecht ensures a significant injection of quality, the winger is one of the most highly rated talents of his generation in France.
RSCA Futures, a selling point to safeguard
During this winter period, Sporting is also thinking about RSCA Futuresbecause they remain the cornerstone of the club, one of its main showcases. However, the team is currently fighting to remain in D1B. Relegation would mean the end of a program that is in fact likely to continue for several more years.
Anderlecht uses – just like Club Brugge and Genk – its professional youth team to convince talents to sign for Mauve. The coveted young Belgians could opt more quickly for competition if they were forced to play in amateur D1.
Behind the scenes, hard work is underway to make Neerpede more attractive. With even more professional supervision, state-of-the-art infrastructure and well-defined career plans. This is particularly why the decision was made to play the home matches at Deinzethis will put an end to the slow evenings at the King Baudouin Stadium.
The first team plundered the hopes
The Futures have their own budget, which is obviously quite substantial this winter. Anderlecht welcomed the postponement of the match against the U23s Genka direct competitor for maintenance. If integrating new recruits into the U23 team is generally synonymous with long-term bets, this winter’s reinforcements will already be crucial for the weeks to come.
Because due to the various problems affecting the first team, players like Lapage, Tajaouart, Maamar and Engwanda were more often present with the A core than with the U23s. Coach Jelle Coen saw the quality of training decline.
The calendar is just busy enough to resume the year in D1B. The Jong Genk team, Seraing and the Francs Borains could take advantage of this to distance themselves. Everything is still extremely close, with only three points difference between 14th place in the RSCA Futures and 9th in RFC Liège.
